    摘要: A strut bearing unit for a motor vehicle includes a lower cup for supporting a suspension spring, an upper cup for coupling with a top mount which provides a connection to a chassis of the motor vehicle, and a bearing interposed between the upper cup and the lower cup. The upper cup has an inner cylindrical surface and a first set of protruding ribs formed on the inner cylindrical surface for providing a connection between the top mount and the upper cup. The first set of protruding ribs extends axially and is circumferentially distributed around the inner cylindrical surface. Each rib of the first set of protruding ribs has a first axial portion and a second axial portion, the first axial portion and the second axial portion having different thicknesses in the radial direction.

    摘要: A suspension bearing unit includes a lower support cap, an upper bearing cap having an axial skirt, and at least one bearing disposed radially between the lower support cap and the upper bearing cap. At least one gasket is at least partially disposed in a space radially between the axial skirt and the at least one bearing and secured to the upper bearing cap or to the lower support cap. The gasket includes a sealing portion, and the sealing portion has at least one recess which may contain a lubricant. When the gasket is secured to the upper bearing cap, the sealing portion seals against a portion of the lower support cap, and when the gasket is secured to the lower support cap the sealing portion seals against a portion of the upper bearing cap.
